One week last September fixed our water problems and we've had good precipitation this winter.

Here's another one from a trip to Italy, a couple of years back. We rented a Ferrari, and got to drive it around the streets of Modena for a bit. Kind of a fun experience.

Worried about having to buy it or someone hitting it.

Snow & Cattails by dcstep, on Flickr

Sorry, I reworked the image and replaced it. The link must have changed slightly, but you'll see the replacement further down the thread.

From the wilds of Arkansas. Apparently, this was quite the attraction back in the day, but that "day" was quite some time ago.

Haha okay, it was a ton of fun! Unfortunately, it wasn't this 599 that I got to drive, it was way too costly. We settled for a F430 Spyder, but I still managed to hit 220km/h on one stretch. This one just happened to be sitting in front of the facility.

Thanks. It's surprised me with it popularity. I may rework it slightly to make the blacks darker and add a touch of Saturation to the cattails.

I actually really like the softness of the colours. I think due to the subject matter, the muted tones convey a bit more emotion.

I'm only talking about -3 Black and +4 Saturation, or something like that. Most people won't notice. We'll see...

Quite the collection, all we have are brown birds. Very boring.

Got lucky today and caught a white-tailed kite out hunting in the rain

Fixed.

Might be too much all at once, but it's better than more drought.

Couple days of rain and they'll green up quick.
